If you are wanting to buy the game from Viveport, that is something that you can do. If you are looking for it inside of Viveport Infinity, it won’t be there. This game is available on the Oculus Store, as well as the SteamVR Store. For a price of $19.99, you will be able to own this game outright. Getting up and running in Job Simulator is no different than any other virtual reality title, and it won’t be requiring any extra setup other than loading into the game. From the locomotion system game (or the lack of it), or the constant moving jobs, you are going to get answers to it all in our game reviews. In this day and age of VR games, there is a lot to know about before you spend your money. But to make players stick around to explore, Job Simulator needed more of that type of Easter Egg interaction to find in each area.In our in-depth game reviews at VRGear, we look to cover everything you need to know about a virtual reality game before you go out and buy or try a virtual title. On the upside if you eat a moldy donut from the bin in the office, you’ll immediately vomit over your desk. Likewise, when I painstakingly scratched lottery tickets until I found a winner, the only reward was a brief sparkle. His reaction was exactly the same as if I’d used any other object. One swagbot wanted me to bling out his car, so I turned a dollar bill I had from an earlier task into a hood ornament. It also swiftly dawns on you that any creativity of your own is a waste of time. In the mechanic section I soon got tired of replacing tires and doing resprays. Surely more fun could have been had there. When Banditbot is dragged back to the convenience store after stealing your cheddar from the safe, (again, literally), all that happens is you point him out to the cops and they take him away. Ultimately the interactions are too simple. The visuals and gags are almost up there with something Valve would put out, but fall just slightly short.

It’s not quite “Still Alive”, but it’s pretty good. There’s also a funny song called “I Emotion You” that you put on at the restaurant while one robot proposes. The performances are great too, peppered with cute one-liners like a throwaway reference to a failed human insurrection. At the store a stonerbot turns up and demands an oversized burrito, which you enlarge using a jumbo-tron device. In the office you have to cook the books-they literally end up on fire-and shred them later when the law shows up. The autoshop is run by SLZBOT, who has you filling a schumck customer’s tank with sugar to ensure he has to come back for repairs. The robots are funny throughout and so are many of the tasks. Only occasionally would buttons or handles in the world fail to connect correctly, but given the amount of back and forth I was doing it never felt like a big problem and soon resolved itself. That proved sensitive enough that I was able to select a CD that was resting under another in the convenience store section without misregistration. They represent your hands in the game and the underside triggers let you manipulate objects. Worth also noting that the fidelity with which the two Vive controllers were tracked was excellent. For example, in the restaurant, at the flip of a switch the sink will be replaced by a microwave or a blender, each with an accompanying flurry of Inspector Gadget-style animation. Space is used with incredible economy in order to maximise the variety of possible tasks. You operate from an enclosed area-your cubicle for the office, behind the till for the store-and are surrounded by the gizmos needed to get the work done. The game has four jobs: Office Worker, Gourmet Chef, Store Clerk, and Auto Mechanic. The floor soon piled up with disused hotdog wieners and fluffy dice. Combined, these reasons make Job Simulator one of the best showcases for room scale VR so far, though not something you’ll keep coming back to, other than to demo the technology for VR newb friends. Why would anyone want to simulate jobs that most of us have spent years trying to escape? For two reasons: 1) Because in its current state simple tasks are arguably what VR does best and, 2) Owlchemy Labs has executed on its high concept with the kind of light satire and thick polish usually found in Valve’s Aperture Labs stuff. Ha, Job Simulator! The name alone is funny.
